Mark's Birthday!

My Marky Sparky turned 34 . . . ahem . . . way back in January.

Is it weird that even though I know we are getting older, I just don't feel like we are?!?

To think that I am married to a 34 year old and that I, myself, will be turning 30 (gasp!) this year seems so unreal!

Anyways, we celebrated his birthday all day long.

Beginning with our traditional number shaped pancakes.

He was being a big goof all day and wouldn't give me normal smile, even after I told him these pictures will be on the blog.

Can't say I didn't warn you babe!

We go all out for birthday breakfasts and even break out the ice cream and sprinkles! 

Then we visited him at his school and took cake for him and all the teachers to enjoy.

Se what I mean?  Goofball! 

That night we invited friends and family over and had a cheesecake bar. 

His favorite dessert!

After dessert we opened presents and played TENZI!  

Have you ever played it?  It's a super fun game!

Happy Birthday Babe!

I hope we made you feel special on your big day!

Winter fun!

We had an INCREDIBLY mild winter here in Rexburg.... I think the East Coast got all the snow.

And you won't here any complaints from me.

Unless winter decides to show up in June, and then I will definitely have a beef with Mother Nature.

It snowed for the first time on Christmas Eve and continued to snow for the next couple of days.

We got an amazing amount of snow then and that was about it for the entire Winter.

Sure, a snowstorm would show up here and there, but nothing that accumulated much.

So we only got to sled behind the four-wheelers once...maybe twice!

Crazy, how mild our Winter was.

No matter, the girls and Sam still had a blast!

Despite what the picture looks like!

By this time the ruts were pretty big and the snow was pretty icy and hard.

It was tough for them to stay in the sled.

Little Lucy was content as can be in her "throne" on the back of the four-wheeler.

She was our "look-out" and would let us know when the girls fell off.

The girls were bummed when we said it was time to stop.

But promises of another day dulled their disappointment..

Who would have thought we wouldn't get another chance.
